APPARATUS FOR RELAXING FEET FIELD OF THE INVENTION My invention is directed toward apparatus for treating tired feet to relax same.

SUMMARY BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the drawings: FIG. 1 is a perspective of my invention in use; and FIG. 2 is an exploded view of my invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, a vinyl covered steel platform has a top surface upon which feet to be treated are positioned.

Disposed underneath the surface and'secured to the platform is a heater wire 12 (with silicon insulation) and a vibrator 14. The wire 12 and vibrator .14 receive current via cable 16. A switch 18 is mounted in the cable.

Weld nuts 20 (or similar items molded in place) secured to the underside of the platform receive the upper ends of molded rubber studs 22. The bottom ends of these studs extend through holes 24 in base plate 26 and are secured by nuts 30 disposed inside of rubber or vinyl cup cushions 28.

The studs hold the platform and base together and allow vibration of the platform. Wire 12 serves to maintain the top surface at a surface temperature falling within the range to ll4F and can be controlled by a thermostat if desired.

The invention can then be used as previously described.

While I have described my invention with particular reference to the drawings, such is not to be considered as limiting its actual scope.

I claim:

1. Feet treating apparatus comprising:

a vinyl covered steel platform having a top flat surface upon which feet can be placed and adapted to be vibrated;

an electrically powered vibrator secured to said surface to transmit vibrations thereto;

an electrically heated wire with silicon insulation to heat said surface to a temperature falling within the range 105l14F.;

a cable supplying electric current to said vibrator and heated wire and having a switch;

weld nuts secured to the underside of the platform;

molded rubber studs having upper ends received in said weld nuts;

a base plate having holes through which the bottom of said studs extend;

vinyl cup cushions through which the bottoms of said studs extend; and

nuts disposed inside said cushions and receiving the bottoms of said studs. 

1. Feet treating apparatus comprising: A VINYL COVERED STEEL PLATFORM HAVING A TOP FLAT SURFACE UPON WHICH FEET CAN BE PLACED AND ADAPTED TO BE VIBRATED; AN ELECTRICALLY POWERED VIBRATOR SECURED TO SAID SURFACE TO TRANSMIT VIBRATIONS THERETO; AN ELECTRICALLY HEATED WIRE WITH SILICON INSULATION TO HEAT SAID SURFACE TO A TEMPERATURE FALLING WITHIN THE RANGE 105*-114*F.; a cable supplying electric current to said vibrator and heated wire and having a switch; WELD NUTS SECURED TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE PLATFORM; MOLDED RUBBER STUDS HAVING UPPER ENDS RECEIVED IN SAID WELD NUTS; A BASE PLATE HAVING HOLES THROUGH WHICH THE BOTTOMS OF SAID STUDS EXTEND; VINYL CUP CUSHIONS THROUGH WHICH THE BOTTOMS OF SAID STUDS EXTEND; AND NUTS DISPOSED INSIDE SAID CUSHIONS AND RECEIVING THE BOTTOMS OF SAID STUDS.
